Joaquin Phoenix has just appeared as brand new The Joker in the 2019 remake of the film and people are lusting all over the villainous character.
It seems to have become a rule of thumb where if a character is a bit of a dirty dog or criminal mastermind, people can't get enough of them and this time it's all about The Joker.

The Twittersphere has been going mad for him, with people wanting to get down and dirty with him - the dark streets of Gotham only adding to their desires.
One Twitter user said: "i'm JORNY.... joker horny".
And we're digging this new word.

Another added: "I just saw the joker and I was horny for an entire like 15 minutes".
Some were more explicit with their tweets.
One said: "just saw joker ... 10/10 would f*ck the joker". [sic]

Someone responded saying: "Same".
Another added: "am i meant to want to bang the joker".
She then very keenly responded to her own tweet saying: "because I do".
At least she knows what she wants when she sees it, nor is she afraid to shout about it.

People aren't ashamed to admit that this murderous clown does it for them - the heart wants what it wants after all.
However, we're not that down with it, we prefer our men to not want to gun down people in the street. It certainly has caused uproar in the USA just for that very reason and it's unsurprising given the amount of people killed by guns in the country.
And it's not the first time an unusual TV or film character has got people hot under the collar.

From Edward Scissorhands to Severus Snape to Hannibal Lecter, the public is not afraid to admit their fantasies. Some have even admitted to getting all the feels for Disney characters.
Now, when it's Prince Charming we understand. All the Disney princes are animated but they look like real people, whereas others have admitted to crushing on Simba from The Lion King and Diego from Ice Age.
This is kind of weird guys, but we're not here to judge.
